Understand that the negative traits you see in others are often a reflection of our deepest selves

a wise human once told me:

“If you were a perfectly evolved and actualized human being who felt nothing but love for everyone else, it would be impossible for you to see anything other than the perfection of all those around you. It is one of the universal truths of self mastery that the more you come to know and then respect yourself, the more you can see the innocence and light in all those people around you who you previously believed to be mean or petty or angry. The fact that you see negative qualities in them is often a reflection of the negative qualities which need to be repaired within yourself. This is not an easy concept to take in at first glance but if you truly understand it, you will be well on your way to creating your best life.”
